Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Create data frame from a 2D array of values. The first dimension of the array is used as rows and the second dimension is treated as columns. Rows and columns of the returned frame are indexed with the element's offset in the array. ## Parameters - `array` - A two-dimensional array to be converted into a data frame

Creates a data frame from a sequence of any .NET objects. The method uses reflection over the specified type parameter `'T` and turns its properties to columns. The rows of the resulting frame are automatically indexed by `int`. ## Example The method can be nicely used to create a data frame using C# anonymous types (the result is a data frame with columns "A" and "B" containing two rows). [lang=csharp] var df = Frame.FromRecords(new[] { new { A = 1, B = "Test" }, new { A = 2, B = "Another"} });

Creates a data frame from a sequence of any .NET objects. The method uses reflection over the specified type parameter `'T` and turns its properties to columns.

Create a data frame from a sequence of tuples containing row key, column key and a value

Create a data frame from a sequence of objects and functions that return row key, column key and value for each object in the input sequence. ## Parameters - `values` - Input sequence of objects - `colSel` - A function that returns the column key of an object - `rowSel` - A function that returns the row key of an object - `valSel` - A function that returns the value of an object

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Load data frame from a CSV file. The operation automatically reads column names from the CSV file (if they are present) and infers the type of values for each column. Columns of primitive types (`int`, `float`, etc.) are converted to the right type. Columns of other types (such as dates) are not converted automatically. ## Parameters * `stream` - Specifies the input stream, opened at the beginning of CSV data * `hasHeaders` - Specifies whether the input CSV file has header row (when not set, the default value is `true`) * `inferTypes` - Specifies whether the method should attempt to infer types of columns automatically (set this to `false` if you want to specify schema) * `inferRows` - If `inferTypes=true`, this parameter specifies the number of rows to use for type inference. The default value is 100. * `schema` - A string that specifies CSV schema. See the documentation for information about the schema format. * `separators` - A string that specifies one or more (single character) separators that are used to separate columns in the CSV file. Use for example `";"` to parse semicolon separated files. * `culture` - Specifies the name of the culture that is used when parsing values in the CSV file (such as `"en-US"`). The default is invariant culture. * `maxRows` - The maximal number of rows that should be read from the CSV file. * `missingValues` - An array of strings that contains values which should be treated as missing when reading the file. The default value is: "NaN"; "NA"; "#N/A"; ":"; "-"; "TBA"; "TBD". [category:Input and output]

Read data from `IDataReader`. The method reads all rows from the data reader and for each row, gets all the columns. When a value is `DBNull`, it is treated as missing. The types of created vectors are determined by the field types reported by the data reader. [category:Input and output]

Returns a string that represents the current object.
